Model 71/84 Manufactured At Danzig Pictures Added

[albayo]

I just traded some items with a fellow Gun Nut for a complete Model 71/84 in VG condition.
It fills a gap in my German firearms collection.
I would like to get a few rounds made up to try it out. But have to find a source of brass and bullets.
Does anyone have any brass and bullets or a source as to where I may find them?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

I got brass and dies at Elwood Epps.

 

[albayo]

I received a new set of Lee dies with the gun.
I will check out Epps to see if they have brass. I have been thinking of ordering a few things from them in the near future.
Thanks for your help

Just looked and no luck.

Epps never has brass
NO FAC.CA in Alberta has Bertram brass
However I have a few tricks to get around using
Expensive brass

Try Shooters Choice for Bertram brass. Got some for my 43 mauser there

Hi,

Ill post pics of my 2 71/84's
One case colored by Oskar Kob
The other was a recent and "
Best ever gunshow find"
Though not military configured
They were 2 guns exported here from Germany to
Get in on the hunters market as moose rifles
I remember my grandfather having one
nd he was paying 3$ a box for dominion shells !!!!!
That was many yrs ago

 

[Musketfire]

Nice looking rifle!

 

[MiG25]

Bullet barn has bullets.

I think these were the equivalent of the SKS today or the Lee Enfield back in the day, there seems to have been a lot of them sold in Canada.

 

[albayo]

In all the bayonets in my collection I don't have a bayonet for the Gew 17/84.
I am going to have to pick up one to complete the rifle.

For 71/84 rifles? You need the correct base on the case to be safe for use with the tube magazine.

I use 4570 and 348 Winchester turned to 43 Mauser specs
Works perfect In my 71/84's no issues, cycles perfect
